    More Than a Feeling

    Tina nodded, her eyes wide.

    "Why aren’t you eating?" Melvin asked Bette, examining her still full plate. Bette had taken two bites of her pancakes and ate three strawberries before stopping.

    "Just nervous I suppose." Bette said, sipping her orange juice.

    "Breakfast is food for the brain. How is a person expected to function for the rest of the day, if they haven’t eaten a proper breakfast?"

    "Daddy, it’s the first day of school. I’m always nervous." Bette reasoned, checking her wristwatch. She began to rise from her seat. "Speaking of school, I better get a move on or I’m going to be late."

    Melvin put a hand up, stopping Bette mid-stand. "Wait. I told you I have a surprise for you." He wiped his clean-shaven face with a napkin before standing. "Follow me."

    Then, Melvin turned and went for the front door. Puzzled, Bette grabbed her books and followed her father, who had disappeared outside in a matter of seconds. Bette slowly made her way outside, shielding her eyes from the hot Californian morning sun. When her eyes adjusted to the light, Bette gasped.

    There, sitting in the driveway, was a brand new, dark blue, SAAB convertible. Bette couldn’t believe it. "Oh my God." She whispered breathlessly, looking from the car to her father and then back to the car. "You got me a car?"

    Melvin nodded, smiling. "Yes, brand new, so I expect you to take excellent care of it." He took a set of keys from his pocket and dangled them in the air.

    Bette didn’t notice. She had walked over to the car and was studying every minute detail. It was beautiful, and must’ve cost her father a pretty penny. Bette wondered what she did to deserve such a gift, but she wasn’t going to express her concerns aloud. The jingle of the keys snapped her out of her trance. She dropped her books and threw her arms around Melvin’s neck. "Thank you Daddy!" She exclaimed, planting a big kiss on her father’s cheek.

    Melvin laughed, patting his daughter on the back. "You’re very welcome sweetheart." He broke the hug, grabbing Bette’s hand and placing the keys in her palm. "Here, why don’t you get in and see how it feels."

    1. Manda, I don’t think that I can adequately express my gratitude for this TiBette beginning. This is sooooooooo welcome. I personally feel like Ilene has raked me over the coals and then tarred and feathered me with S3. Please post often so that I may escape the torture. I’ll be less dramatic in my comments on the next chapter.

    2. Might I say I’m “captured”, I love the title and the story. Bette and Tina will always rock and I look happily forward to your next post :-)

    3. I’m really excited to see how this turns out. Looking at high school through Tina’s eyes cracked me up, especially the view from outside the building. It reminded me of the beginning scenes of “Mr. Holland’s Opus” in 1994 just before he was told he’d be cut loose from his job. This Bette seems so innocent and this Tina seems so “whatever.” Please post again soon!

    4. I liked your previous story and I love Bette and Tina beginnings and reminds and now since watching South of Nowhere can really get in the mindset of high school. pls post soon!
